Kill this abomination with fire, then collect the ashes, salt them and throw it all in a vat of holy water.

…the fuck is this?

See……

and look at who wrote and will direct it: Deniz Gamze Erguven a Turkish French Filmmaker. She looks at this fuckery and the best she can come up with is interracial romance with a white man defending a black woman from black people protesting state violence. I need for other POC to leave black folks stories alone if this is the shit you can come up with. And Halle? Your script choices girl. abysmal.

Guessing Zoe Saldana wasn’t available… 😒😒😒

If they’re gonna use an interracial romantic relationship as a metaphor for racial harmony, I say stop preproduction now.

White people already misunderstand those riots and the police violence which precipitated them, we don’t need any further justification for the lazy, false-equivalence “both sides are to blame” narrative.

Ugh.

nooooop

no no no no NO

“The film is set against the backdrop of the Los Angeles riots in 1992,
and will see Craig as “Ollie, a loner who lives in South Central — one
of its only white residents — who befriends Berry’s character, a tough,
protective mother who looks after a group of kids. When the riots
explode in the city, Craig’s character helps Berry, who is secretly in
love with him, try and track down the kids from the worst of the
violence.”

Someone tell Halle that she doesn’t have to be a downtrodden black woman aided by a heroic and “non-racist” white man in order to get another academy award. Because, really Monsters Ball was enough

I wanted so much more for Halle and tbh that Oscar fucked her career up.

I’m tired like this just made me tired why are people obsessed with this ‘interracial romance will solve racism’ myth like???

White men will back as many movies as they have to, to convince black women that they can save the world, by getting in our draws. One of the side effects of more black women being woke is it’s harder to get in they panties. They gotta have better game, and “white savior” is their uno card.
